Complete Tail List with Drop Rates
There are 11 unique tails in Monkey Bomb Tag, each with varying rarity and drop rates. Some tails are common drops from the Tails Case, while others require a lucky roll from the Void Crate. The table below summarizes all tails, their drop rate percentages, and the case source for each.
| Tail Name | Rarity Tier | Drop Rate | Case Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal Tail | Common | 30% | Tails Case |
| Slime Tail | Uncommon | 25% | Void Crate |
| Tiger Tail | Uncommon | 15% | Void Crate |
| Cotton Tail | Uncommon | 10% | Tails Case |

The drop rates above reflect community-verified probabilities. The Metal Tail is the easiest to obtain at 30% from the Tails Case, while the Glitch Tail is the most elusive at just 0.2% from the Void Crate. The King Tail stands apart as the only tail that cannot be obtained through case rolls.
How to Get Tails – Case Shop Guide
The Case Shop is the central hub for obtaining cosmetic items in Monkey Bomb Tag, including all tail skins. Understanding the difference between case types and how currency works is essential for efficient farming.
Tails Case vs Void Crate
There are two primary case types that award tails:
- Tails Case – This case specifically focuses on tail cosmetics. It offers higher chances for common and uncommon tails like the Metal Tail (30%) and Cotton Tail (10%). Tails Cases can be purchased using Bananas earned through regular gameplay.
- Void Crate – This premium case offers a broader selection of cosmetics including tails, but with significantly lower drop rates across the board. The Void Crate is where you’ll find the rarest tails such as the Glitch Tail (0.2%) and Ghost Tail (1%). Void Crates can be purchased with Robux for faster access.
Currency: Bananas and Robux
Monkey Bomb Tag uses two currencies:
- Bananas – The free-to-earn in-game currency. You accumulate Bananas naturally by participating in rounds, completing weekly quests, and winning matches. Bananas can be spent on Tails Cases and other standard cosmetic cases.
- Robux – The premium Roblox currency. If you want faster access to Void Crates or do not want to wait for Bananas积累, you can purchase cases directly with Robux. This is the only way to access the Void Crate without waiting.
When you open a case, the game performs an RNG roll to determine which cosmetic you receive. If you already own a tail that drops, you may receive a duplicate or a different cosmetic from another category (Effects, Bombs, or Emotes). There is no pity timer or guaranteed drop system currently in place.
King Tail – The Special Achievement Unlock
The King Tail is unlike every other tail in Monkey Bomb Tag because it is not earned through case rolls at all. Instead, this prestigious tail is granted as a reward for dedicated gameplay.
To unlock the King Tail, you must accumulate 500 Tags during your time in Monkey Bomb Tag. A “Tag” occurs when you successfully tag another player while holding the bomb or when you are tagged by another player carrying the bomb. This is a significant grind that rewards consistent, skilled play rather than lucky RNG rolls.
For context, completing 500 Tags can take many hours of active gameplay, especially for newer players still learning the maps, movement mechanics, and tactical positioning. The King Tail serves as a status symbol that communicates to other players that you have invested serious time into the game.
Because the King Tail is achievement-based, it is not subject to drop rate calculations. Once you hit 500 Tags, the tail is automatically unlocked and added to your inventory – no case opening required.
Expected Cost to Get Rare Tails
Understanding the probability mathematics behind rare tail drops can help set realistic expectations before you start spending Bananas or Robux on case rolls.
For a tail like the Glitch Tail with a 0.2% drop rate, the probability of NOT getting it in a single roll is 99.8%. To calculate the chance of getting it at least once after N rolls:
Probability = 1 – (0.998)^N
This means:
- After 100 rolls: approximately 18% chance of getting Glitch Tail
- After 250 rolls: approximately 39% chance
- After 500 rolls: approximately 63% chance
- After 1,000 rolls: approximately 86% chance
For Ghost Tail at 1% drop rate, the numbers are more forgiving:
- After 100 rolls: approximately 63% chance
- After 200 rolls: approximately 87% chance
- After 500 rolls: approximately 99.3% chance
These calculations assume each roll is independent and that duplicates do not affect your odds. In practice, players report spending significantly more than expected due to bad RNG streaks and duplicate drops of common tails like the Metal Tail. If you are specifically chasing the Glitch Tail, prepare for a long grind and consider farming Bananas steadily rather than spending Robux on impulse.
How to Equip Your Tail
Once you have obtained a tail from a case, equipping it is straightforward. Follow these steps to show off your new cosmetic in the arena:
- Open your inventory menu during a round or while in the lobby
- Navigate to the “Cosmetics” or “Accessories” tab
- Locate your tail in the list of unlocked items
- Click or tap on the tail to select it
- Press the “Equip” button to attach the tail to your monkey character
- Your tail will now be visible on your character model during gameplay
You can change your equipped tail at any time by accessing the same menu. Unequipped tails remain in your inventory for future use. Note that equipping a tail is purely visual – it does not affect your movement speed, hitbox, or any other gameplay parameter.

How do I get tails in Monkey Bomb Tag?

What is the King Tail and how do I get it?
The King Tail is a special tail that is not obtained from cases. Instead, it is unlocked by achieving 500 Tags in Monkey Bomb Tag, making it a dedication reward for experienced players. Unlike other tails, there is no RNG involved – you earn it through consistent skilled play.
Which case gives the best chance for rare tails?
The Void Crate is the case for rare tails. While it has lower overall drop rates for common tails, it is the exclusive source for Legendary tails like the Glitch Tail and Ghost Tail. The Tails Case is better for farming common and uncommon tails more consistently.
Do tails give any gameplay advantage in Monkey Bomb Tag?

Final Thoughts
Tails are one of the most popular cosmetic categories in Monkey Bomb Tag, offering players a way to express their individual style while competing in fast-paced rounds. Whether you are grinding Bananas for a Tails Case to chase the Metal Tail or spending Robux on Void Crates hoping for a Glitch Tail miracle roll, understanding the drop rates and case mechanics covered in this guide will help you make informed decisions about where to invest your currency.
For most players, the practical strategy is to use Bananas on Tails Cases for consistent common and uncommon tail collection, while treating Void Crate rolls with Robux as a luxury rather than an expectation. The King Tail remains the ultimate long-term goal – a visible badge of honor that communicates your dedication to the game without costing a single Banana or Robux.
Good luck with your rolls, and may RNG be ever in your favor.
